In Universe B, there's an Opera House at the corner of Union and Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn, apparently. (Although it did look a bit like Brooklyn Lyceum which is a block away….) But the Williamsburg Savings Bank building looks the same.

It's the Soul Mass Transit System!!

MBS and Josh Modell have been living together since March. Congrats to Phel and Prison Wine, but I had to commemorate another romance brought about by the AV Club.

Putney Swope is definitely a flawed classic, flawed enough that I want to see the concept done right, classic enough that a film remake would be heretical. A tv show…maybe. Tim Meadows? Are you a troll? I actually like Tim Meadows (SNL didn't know how to use him, but brilliant cameo in the Office) but I feel I'm…

Keith, will you marry me?
It's legal in some states.

These were nice. I also like the other Easter Eggs, like the picture of a gray-haired JFK, and the movie titles: "Superman vs. Batman" and "Indiana Jones & the Hex of the Hydra."

Logan Tying his Tie
Logan: I always button the top button of my shirt before I start to tie my tie, but based on your smooth moves at the opening of this episode, I may try it your way. You were president, after all.

I'm feeling sympathetic since this was possibly the best episode of the season, so I'll commence the fan wanking.

The Pixies
I remember it differently. Barry, Baltar's handler, got fired for taking him to a Pixies concert that Olivia happened to be at. I like that Olivia is a Pixies fan.

Oh, and there is a Juniper Valley Road in Queens, so at least the writers got that right.

Chloe said that the laundry was in Middle Village, which is way the fuck out in Queens near Forest Hills. Which makes sense (kinda, sorta) since that place was most certainly NOT in Manhattan. It doesn't make sense since I believe Jack told the cab driver to take him somewhere around Houston Street when he went to…

No shit, I laughed a little and thought of video games when Jack pulled that trick. I did the same thing in Splinter Cell and was amazed it worked then. This guy knows that JACK "THE GODDAMNED BATMAN" BAUER will show up any second and he still thinks that checking out the obvious knocking over there without alerting…

The Soviet Union was a big player in the Cold War, but I'm not sure how relevant Russia is in the region today, but then again I"m not really that up on international relations. I like to pretend that instead of Russia it's Israel, since Israel's lack of participation really would kill any vague Mid-East peace…

Yeah, so torture is bad now? I guess it's only justified when Jack does it? This development is a big step forward in terms of the show's morality and political responsibility, but that's now what the show was about. Felt Pelt nails it: there are two redeeming factors to the show. One is when Jack does something…

Domicile?
There was once a legal dispute over whether a RV should be considered an automobile or a domicile for the purpose of warrantless searches & seizures, but the Supreme Court cleared it up 25 years ago: a RV is NOT a domicile; accordingly, the less stringent warrantless search requirements apply.

And that doesn't even rank in my top ten most unbelievable things that have happened so far in this season.

Pardon me, I'm just a parole officer from Arkansas and I know it's 4:30 in the morning and this is a high-level counter-terrorism department that is in the middle of a potential terrorist attack what with trying to track weapons of mass destruction that are loose in NYC, and I realize your office just got hit with an…

I found Jack's manpurse just as distracting—but it looks as if he ditched it in the last hour.

Nihlism?
